State v. Lawrence, 210 N.C. App. 73 (Mar. 1, 2011)
rev’d on other grounds, 365 N.C. 506 (Apr. 13, 2012)
The evidence was sufficient to warrant an instruction on flight. During the first robbery attempt, the defendant and a co-conspirator fled from a deputy sheriff. During the second attempt, the defendant fled from an armed neighbor. After learning of the defendant’s name and address, an officer canvassed the neighborhood, looking for the defendant. The defendant was later arrested in another state.
